How blessed I feel to have had President Hinckley in my life. Although I
didn't know him personaly, his teachings have guided and comforted me
uncountable times. I am so greatful for him.
I will miss you President Hinckley. Thank You for your hard work, your love, and dedication to move the work forth.
Now let this be a time of pondering and thanking our Father in Heaven for giving us such an extraordinary leader.

Your life on earth has truly shown forth the wonderful workings of our Lord.
Your works have been never ceasing. They are works of righteousness. The fruits
from your labors reach into the heavens. You brought laughter to conferences
like I have never heard before. I truly looked forward to hear your voice once
more. May we all live by your counsel and example. In my heart I know you are
well and have been welcomed with open arms. All my love and appreciation, The
Butler's

your service.

President Hinckley was our prophet. We both grew up with his teachings and his
grandfather-like encouragement. We miss him and his unique humor, but we know
he is with his wife once more.

He served long and faithfully. He has left a legacy of service and dedication,
not only to his family but to all the members and non-members. I shook his hand
once in 1976 or 1977 (it was on my mission in Bolivia) and was struck by his
kind and loving eyes.
What an incredible individual and wonderful prophet; one to follow and emulate. God bless his family.

I have known the Prophets since Heber J. Grant but I have known President
Hinckley best and feel closest to him. I will miss him very much.

President Hinckley is an amazing man. He was the Lord's prophet through an
incredible period of growth in the church. His life is a legacy and testament
of his commitment to the Lord, Jesus Christ. We are all stronger members of the
church as a result of his love, service and sacrifice in carrying out all that
the Lord called him to do. We will miss his presence, but we are gratified in
the knowledge that he has returned to our Heavenly Father and is with his
beloved Marjorie. We also have a firm testimony that we will see him again.
May we emulate his life of love and service in our own lives to our fellowman
both member and non-member alike. We love you and will miss you, but we realize
that this is but a brief parting. Got bless you President Hinckley. Our love
and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for your life and example.
May we so emulate your example in our own lives and carry on this great work
where you've left off.

He was an incredible man. He was a inspiration to us all. I am a Lone Peak High
School Student. We are all dressing up to show respect to this amazing man. The
guys are wearing there white shirts and ties and the women are wearing there
dresses and skirts. We want to remember this amazing man and were dressing up to
help us remember him.

How do words even discribe a person such as Pres Hinckley. He was a true servant
of the Lord. He gave without asking for anything in return. His love of all
people of the world is like that of the Savior. We are a better family because
of his Christ like example. We have3 a desire to be better because Of Pres.

I was so sad to hear the news. I hoped that he could just keep on living. I
will miss President Hinckley and the love that he demonstrated for all. There
is so much to be learned from his years of service and from his willingness to
truly endure to the end. What a wonderful prophet dear! He will be missed. I
will never forget his wonderful words and encouragement to all! I know he is
working just as diligently on the other side with his wonderful wife, Marjorie.
Diana | 10:26 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
Sadness and joy intermingle as a myriad of emotion abound as we reflect on his
long fruitful life. One could not help but reserve a beautiful place in our
hearts for President Hinckley. Though we might not see his humor or smiling face
for a while they are etched in our many memories of him. I hope he gives his
wife and our wonderful saviour a hug from us all.
M. Lawrence | 10:27 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

President Hinckley is awesome!!! What a great man -- how saddened we were to
learn of his passing.
Dan | 10:29 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
Non-LDS Here. The world needs more leaders like Hinckley. The 60 Minutes
interview he did some years back framed the man very well for those who are not
LDS. He will be missed by all but leaves the gift of a great legacy. Your next
President will have very large shoes to fill!
Cody, WY | 10:29 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
An example that will never be forgotten, and a good and faithful servant who
gracefully and faithfully endured to the end. I will be forever blessed for
having known this man for without whom I may have never read the Book of Mormon
and received the blessings I desperately needed in my life.
Hector E. Vera | 10:30 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
He was a great leader, a great man...a prophet of God..Rest in peace!! and may

Thank you President Hinckley. You will be missed and loved forever! But there
are happy reunions on the other side I know!
Thank you!
Thank you!

I loved him very much and will miss him dearly. How would it be to go reunite
with Heavenly Father and Jesus being as valiant as Hinckley was throughout his
life? I bet he gets more than a "well done my faithful servant" he
will probably be praised up there.
When we pass on people will say that they lived in the time of Moses or the time of Captain Moroni and ask you when you lived and when you say in the time of Pres. Hinckley people will bow to your presence so imagine what rejoice is going on there.
We sure will miss him!!!

a cloudy day. He will be missed dearly.

Gordon B. Hinckley was a great example of Christian love and service. He
extended his love of to all people of the world and "walked the walk"
as the Savior would like us all to do. He will be missed. We extend our love,
sympathy and thoughts to his family and close associates.

What a man he was. Truly a prophet of got. Im 17 so he is really the only

welcomed. And all of them saying "Well done Gordon, well done".
